Donors

Dr. Donald B. Rix

Dr. Donald B. Rix (1931 – 2009) philanthropy touched many in British Columbia including BMSC.

Dr. Rix’s donation of close to $1 million made possible the construction of the Rix Centre for Ocean Discoveries at BMSC. The Rix Centre for Ocean Discovery, built with his leadership, has become a focal point for the centre. This legacy will contribute to the training of marine scientists for generations.
